On Wednesday,
July 30, we ferried from Isla Mujeres to Cancun, rented a van, and headed out
with our friends Patrick and Nancy Harrington (s/v Stolen Child) for a trip
across Mexico. We left the Mexican state of Yucatan and traveled in the
southern highland states of Tabasco and Chiapas. This is a tour for those
who want to see the "other Mexico" and we did! We traveled over 1500
miles through all sorts of terrain.... the coastline, mountain roads, jungles,
and flatlands.

Eight days
later, we returned to our little paradise at Isla Mujeres... road weary, but our
lives more enriched.... having explored some authentic Mexican communities that
are a world away from the touristy coast of Cancun.
